De ce Acces Timpuriu ?

„We've decided to release Tabletop Playground in early access for a few reasons. Firstly, we believe the game is in a strong state, with all core features already in place for you to be able to create games with ease and share them with others around the world to play. However, we still have a lot of plans in the pipeline for Tabletop Playground and believe there are several features we want to add to the game before we'd consider it a full release.

As our community has grown we’ve had a lot of feedback and further suggestions for the game too, and expect to have many more once we release in early access that we’ll take into consideration.

Most importantly, we're a small team with limited capacity, so it’s going to take time to implement all these features while also releasing regular updates and bug fixes. But we want to get the game into your hands as soon as possible! Hence the decision to release Tabletop Playground in early access.”

Cum dorești să implici comunitatea în procesul tău de dezvoltare?

„We plan to involve the community every step of the way throughout early access. We’re incredibly active in our official Discord and on the Steam forums, chatting to creators and players every day to hear your feedback and discuss the development of the game.

We’ve been running a closed beta for several months with board game creators, gaining their feedback on the game and the in-game editor. This has helped us hugely on shaping the game and deciding what features to focus on throughout development. We plan to continue to work with board game creators, publishers and players to help us decide what features are most important to the community as development continues.

We look forward to continuing this journey with you into early access on May 15th and your help in shaping our modern digital tabletop gaming simulator.”
